Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Green-shelled insect

Looking up immediately, Chu Yunsheng discovered that it was Zhang Zicheng that was taken away by the insect.

He was struggling violently while shouting in horror, but he still couldn’t get off the thorn.

On top of bus no.1, the machine gunner was shooting at the insect frantically in panic. Chu Yunsheng didn’t know if he knew that his bullets could also hit Zhang Zicheng.

The flying insect wheeled in the sky a few circles before it bit off Zhang Zicheng’s head and threw away his body, then it dived down again. This time, it was heading directly towards the machine gunner!

“Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!!!” Chu Yunsheng saw Zhong Nan jump on the bus, laid prone on top of the bus and shouted.

But it was too late, the flying insect seemed to have locked on the machine gunner. It flew over the crowd once again, hooked the machine gunner using the back of its legs and took him away.

Zhong Nan stopped the battalion commander, who was about to take over the machine gun, and said sternly and slowly, “don’t shoot!…”

The enraged flying insect quickly tore the machine gunner apart, and then carried on wheeling on top of the crowd looking for a new target.

Zhong Nan murmured dispiritedly, “let them kill, let them kill… When they killed enough, they would leave…”

Everyone felt dispirited, and everyone including Chu Yunsheng understood why Zhong Nan said that. With their current strength, they simply could not deal with this kind flying insect. They were too fast!

Except for the one that was currently fighting with the helicopter, the troops on the ground took the opportunity and used rocket launchers to lock on one of the flying insects and shoot it down. However, the other two flying insects continued to dive and ascend repeatedly, soldiers simply could not hit them.

Chu Yunsheng knew that if they were blindly shooting at those flying insects, it would only provoke them, and based on the insect’s behavior, which he had learned from red-shelled insects, enraged insects were far more dangerous than the insects that were just hunting for prey.

Normally, insects would leave if they killed enough people. But the enraged Insects would kill every single one of them, no matter what the cost was.

Chu Yunsheng dragged Yu Xiaohai off the bus and sat next to the bus tire. It was a suicide if they were still staying on top.

The sounds of gunfire slowly faded away, everyone seemed to have acquiesced in the killing. Apart from the horrified screams that were caused by the flying insects when it dived down, and the unlucky people shouting for help when they were taken away, everyone was dispirited and silent.

The rest of the two flying insects eventually left after having killed dozens of people. Then the scattered crowd once again gathered together as if nothing had happened.

Zhong Nan was calculating the damages and casualties on the truck, Chu Yunsheng simply reported to him, and then jumped off the truck. He wanted to take a close look at the flying insect’s body. He was not close to the place where the troops shot down the monster.

Apparently, the flying insect didn’t die immediately when it was shot down, only until the troops spent quite a lot of ammunition and also with the help of the awakened warriors, did they finally kill it completely.

When Chu Yunsheng arrived, the place had already been blocked by the troops, he could only observe the body from outside.

The flying insect’s color was different from that of red shelled insects’, it was green, and its body was covered with seemingly much stronger shells. The body of the dead flying insect had visible signs of being frozen by ice, presumably, it was caused by one of the awakened warriors. On the shell, there were many shallow dents, a few holes, they were made by bullets. It seemed like even after the flying insect lost its energy shield, its shell would still be able to block bullets for quite some time.

Based on his observation, the flying insect mainly used the thorns of its feet to tear the prey apart, and used its sharp beak to peck.

Looking at the flying insect’s thorn and sharp beak, Chu Yunsheng wasn’t sure if his armor would be strong enough to protect him from a flying insect’s attack.

While he was trying to find a way to get closer, Dong Sheng university’s research team finally arrived at the scene and started to slowly cut the insect into pieces. Luckily, they knew Chu Yunsheng was one of the awakened warriors, so he was granted permission to get close to the insect.

The research team named this type of insect: Green-shelled insect. They wanted to dissect the body and study its physiological structure. However, during the cut-up process, one of the researchers was burned by the liquid that burst out from the insect’s organ.

They had also granted Chu Yunsheng the permission to test the strength of the shell. As expected, the flying insect’s shell was much stronger than that of red-shelled insects’. He needed to infuse one unit of Yuan Qi into the sword in order to cut the shell into halves.

After testing it, Chu Yunsheng was quite worried, but fortunately, there weren’t many of those insects. Otherwise, if the sky were full of those insects, humans would be wiped out from this planet very soon.

Chu Yunsheng was dispirited. The drastic change made everyone feel the same way. People were slowly moving forward, but the scene of flying insects wheeling in the sky and diving down to kill humans and they couldn’t even fight back, still appeared in their mind from time to time. It was like a huge rock on everyone’s chest, it made them couldn’t breathe.

Qian Deduo had been told off by Zhong Nan, he was sitting in the corner constantly sighing. Yu Xiaohai also stayed in the corner practicing his ability, perhaps, the killing caused him to rethink what he should do now. Chu Yunsheng hoped that he would continue like this.

The truck began to move as well. It was bumping up and down, slowly moving forwards. Chu Yunsheng had already got back on the truck and went back to meditate again.

He was mentally exhausted after cultivating Yuan Qi for a whole day. When he was in a light trance, he heard some intermittent noises, some of them seemed to be Qian Deduo’s voice. Chu Yunsheng was alerted and opened his eyes immediately. He then noticed that everyone in the fourth team and the fifth team had all been gathered together again, and Yu Xiaohai was just about to wake him up.

The hazy light in the sky was completely gone now. Chu Yunsheng at his watch, it was 23 o’clock. It should be night time if it was still in the age of light.

Qian Deduo seemed to have restored his energy. He whispered, “Brother Chu, the food factory is very near now, we are moving out now. Later on, everyone get off the truck one by one, be quiet, don’t make any noise, Zhou Tingyun, you stay on the truck, in case Captain is looking for us.”

“Why me again?” Zhou Tingyun did not seem to be happy about it.

Qian Deduo said quietly, “of course it’s you, you are the weakest in the group, and still have not recovered your energy. If there was any danger, would you even be able to run away?” Then he tried to console her, “please watch our back, when we get back, we will definitely give you one share. You don’t even need to take the risk yourself. It’s a good thing, why are you complaining?”

Zhou Tingyun pressed her lips together very hard for a moment, and then blurted out, “I know you are looking down on me!”

Qian Deduo knitted his eyebrows and threatened her, “are you gonna do it or not, Zhou Tingyun, if you are not listening, then leave our group, you can join Qin Heng’s group, it does not make any difference for our fifth team to fight without you! ”

Zhou Tingyun had no choice but to give up, she nodded her head unwillingly and mumbled, “… like I care …”

No one heard her last sentence, but Chu Yunsheng did. He did not know why she wanted to go, it was obviously very dangerous. They could even lose their lives over this, why was she still insisted on going? Qian Deduo had already promised her to give her a share, did she feel not enough? Did she want more?

Humans were indeed very greedy, especially now. Food was even more precious than life. Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but think.

But he did not say anything, he just closely followed everyone and quietly got off the truck. At this time, not many people were still talking on the road. Everyone was exhausted, many people were lying on the ground to take a break. Apart from a few campfires. It was very quiet in the surroundings.

No one knew where Qian Deduo got a pair of seemingly military-grade night vision goggles, so he was leading the way, and everyone else was closely following him in the dark.

This food factory they were heading used to manufacture bread, it was located outside the city zone and near a highway interchange.

The surroundings became completely dark after they left the crowd, Jiang Ye had to switch on the flashlight in order to see what was in front of them. Everyone was slowly moving forward in the dark.

On the way to the factory, they did not encounter any insects. But Chu Yunsheng thought it was normal. If there were insects in the area, they would probably be attracted by the crowd already.

Everyone was twice as careful on the road until they were finally near the interchange.

It was at this moment, a gleam of light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon that was far away from them. Yu Xiaohai patted Chu Yunsheng and whispered, “brother Chu, look over there!”

Chu Yunsheng pulled up his mask, and saw a large group of flying creatures glowing in the dark on the horizon. They were like fireflies illuminating a small area on the horizon. It was a magnificent view in this completely dark night.

“What is that?” Qian Deduo approached him and said nervously.

Chu Yunsheng shook his head. Who the hell would know what that was!

“Look! What’s beneath them?” Yao Xiang in the fourth team lost his composure and shouted. Jiang Ye immediately covered his mouth, fear of being discovered by the insect, because insects were more sensitive to sounds than lights.

Chu Yunsheng squinted his eyes to take another look. The glowing flying creatures were slowly flying away. When it was almost about to disappear from the horizon, its light lit up a gigantic “tree” kind of plant near them. They could not see it very clearly, but it was definitely higher than the buildings around it, and It was definitely not there before. Because Chu Yunsheng had not heard of this kind of scary tree in Shen Cheng city before.

Everyone looked at each other, and did not know what to say. They had seen a lot of strange creatures recently. This world was getting more and more strange, more and more puzzling!

Chu Yunsheng gently pushed Qian Deduo and said, “stop thinking that thing, we need to hurry up!”

Everyone was stunned by that scene, only when Chu Yunsheng reminded them, did they finally realize that they needed to speed up.

They quickly went around the interchange and approached a red brick building. The building was located in an open area. There was nothing around it.

Qian Deduo was very familiar with this area, it did not take him long to find the front entrance.

“I did not see any insects! No one is here!” After using the night vision goggles to scan the area, Qian Deduo used his hand to make an OK gesture to everyone, and said quietly.

After approaching the front yard, they noticed that the gate was already open. Seeing this, everyone’s heart sank.

‘Someone has been here before!’ Qian Deduo knitted his brows and quickly lurked inside.

Because night vision goggles could not detect any insects, so Chu Yunsheng did not let his guard down. He had fallen into a trap once before. He did not want it to happen again.

Other team members also seemed to know the flaw of night vision goggles as well. It most likely came from their research department that was studying insects day and night non-stop. So everyone was extremely careful.

Qian Deduo led the team straight to the warehouse. It was a small factory that did not have a lot of equipment, to begin with. But now, it seemed even more empty.

The warehouse of this factory was right behind the workshop, so after they went around the workshop, they finally saw the warehouse’s entrance.

The door was closed. Seeing this, Qian Deduo sighed with relief.

But when he was just about to get close to the door, Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt that Yuan Qi started to rapidly increase in the area, and the temperature around them began to decrease rapidly.

He was startled and instantly dragged Qian Deduo back. “Be careful!” he shouted.

Before he even finished his sentence, a woman dressed in white rushed out of the door, while her body was surrounded by the fierce frost!

She stopped in front of them and glanced coldly at their group. In the next second, she just jumped up lighting to the roof of the warehouse, and quickly disappeared from their sight.

Her speed was even faster than Chu Yunsheng when he was wearing the armor!

“What the hell!” Jiang Ye said nervously. He was just behind Chu Yunsheng and Qian Deduo, so he only got a chance to see a shadow.
